The Megablog of Loot.

Hoo boy. Work as been killing me so now it's time for me to kill myself writing up a blog that'll be far too long.

Welcome to another heroizumi loot blog. This time is just me playing catch up. Some of you may have noticed I haven't had a monthly loot blog since August.

I did write two other blogs after that (one was deleted by admins -__-) in regards to the JPN-Depot situation. I'll briefly mention, they did lose my stuff, however were quick to refund me. Perhaps because I threatened to send the Osaka Police Department. I was able to find some of the stuff they lost, but unfortunately not all of it. There's no chance of finding the animate sales items they lost for even a similar price.

Anyway, as usual, I apologize for terrible photos due to my shaky hands. Let's get into this. It may not really be in order as to went I got things, but everything will be in here someplace!!!

Also if it's not obvious, this is gonna be super picture heavy!!

Here we go!!
First up is some fanmade Yuri on Ice goodies by Soumeki! They're very well made and super cute~ Yuuri is actually for my friend Tanzanite!

These next two images are from a split! Well kind of! The cards were gifted to me by the splitter! I'd love to get more EnStars round badges <3

And now we have some items from a Surugaya GO hosted by the lovely Noctisity! She's a great host and I'm definitely interested in joining more of her GOs and splits :D

More fan made goodies! Minoru Joeling again! XD I love her art. I might need to pop in and get more stuff from her again, haha.

These are a couple goodies from Dirge! The Emils and Yurio badge were just an outright purchase, but the Lawson straps were from a split. I miss Karaage-kun so much ;__; I used to get the cheese flavor all the time on the way home from work when I was at the university, haha.

And now we have my first venture in on mochimochi mascots! These little dudes are Touken Ranbu ones. Unfortunately my first personal attempt at collecting them was terrible due to JPN-Depot losing my parcel with the Yuri on Ice vol.2 ones.....At least I was able to semi-recover. I'm glad because I love these things. They're so soft and squishy!

And more doujinshi from Tanzanite. I think these were the last of the collection she'd gotten from her friend ~_~ I hope so cuz I don't have much more room ahaha! (.....cept I may have ordered some from Suruga-ya...whoops)

Now here is some amiami loot! I was very pleased to be able to get my hands on that Aina scale. She's one I've been looking at getting for a while, so finding her for less than 3500yen I couldn't say no!

Now if you wonder what the squished up thing in the bag was...
It was a long pillow case of Yamato from Idolish7!! I still need to get a pillow for it though, so he sits in a drawer waiting to adorn my bed. XD The quality is really nice. The printing is beautiful and I think I might like this size more than full size dakimakura. It was so much less than buying an official full size daki cover too!

Now we start into my new addiction.....Ballroom e Yokoso. If you haven't checked it out....do it!! It's really good!!!

I can't resist GraffArt stuff. The style is so cute and endearing!! (ff and a random Yurio....XD)

And of course can't forget my Bocchi-kun problem.

Onto the figures from this box! Yes, I know the photos are terrible ;__;
First off is Victor! I really like the Q-Posket style. I'm so angry at how bad Yuuri looks =/ He's the main character! Make him look good!!!!

One very blurry Shiroyasha. This is actually my first figure of Shiroyasha. I don't think there are really that many figures of him compared to regular Gintoki.....Though I still lust for a Ginpachi-sensei for my collection....one day....

A perfect example of what a JoJo pose is. Thanks Caesar. XD

Now onto the minor grail!
Oh Aina ;__;

She is so pretty!!! I wish there were more pre-painted figures of her. I really can't afford to get an old rare garage kit and then pay someone to paint her ;__;

Here's a bit of booty XD

My attempt at trying to get a nice photo of her face....still not that nice. But she's beautiful! I promise!!!

And the last of that amiami box!
Ah yes! The Yamato photobook! It's a little kind of thing, but it's got a brand new image as the cover/keychain/poster and there's loads of nicely printed older images from the game. I'm super excited to have the anime coming out now!!!

Oh my beautiful drunk man. <3 The image on the left page is what made me start playing Idolish7. I got interested from a grab box from amiami....and then found that and was smitten.

More artist goods you say????
MY GOD THIS CHARM IS PERFECT!!!!!!! I absolutely adore Doukyuusei and getting this little charm makes me so happy. It's made by MisunderstoodPotato! I have no idea what company made the charms for her, but it's printed so beautifully!! It's probably my favorite artist made charm so far!

Why did I include photos of a box????

Because it's the last ever JPN-Depot parcel I'll ever get. I will NEVER use their services after they lost my parcels. I still don't get how you lose over 25000yen worth of stuff including one in a HUGE box.

Anyway, here's what was in there!

I HAD to get these. They're absolutely adorable. I love that Sengoku so much. He's such a little turd!!!!

Also my Harry Potter straps!! These are the ones I kept~ I hosted a split for them and was very glad JPN-Depot didn't lose them too. -__-

Here are a few items from splits with MFC user Ypsii!! They've seemed rather busy recently...I hope they're doing okay...

And now here's my BishieBox exclusive Otabek birthday/Halloween stand!! It's illustrated by KusoTaisa!! Definitely very nice~ It's a fair bit smaller than the Welcome to the Madness one they put out before though.

More squishy goodies! These ones aren't actually mochimochi mascots though~ They're sold individually and are called NoruChara :D I still hope to get the vol.1 of Asahi one day XD

And these are part of my god-tier good luck with blind packs! They were purchased and opened on twitter by emigyaru. My goal was Otabek, Yurio, Chris and Yuuri. I bought 6 total. I can't remember the order they came out, but I got 1 Otabek, 1 Yurio, 2 Chris and 2 Yuuri. I traded one of the Yuuris to Emigyaru for a second Otabek. The Yuuri I got is also heading off to Tanzanite!

Now a brief break from new merch, here's an update pic taken for Otabek's birthday!
I think my collection is coming along nicely!

Anyway, back to stuff!
The classiness of my calendar for November/December! XDD I love it!!

Here's a recent little goodie that I got from a twitter user XD I couldn't help it...I needed him!

A few more goodies from emigyaru! I'm still determined to have the biggest, ugliest Georgi bag!

Here's a little set of goodies that I got to recover more items lost by JPN-Depot. ;__;

A bunch of stuff from Susanoo14 XDD
Hnnnnngggggg

Anyways...
Just as cute as I expected them to be after getting the Bungo Stray Dogs ones XDDD

Onto another amiami bit of loot!
First off their October pamphlet is super cute D:

Yep you guessed it, more Ballroom and YoI!

Auuuu they're so cute!! I love the little Tataras ;__;
Also this Sengoku looks like Reiner, lol!

Of course more Otabek and Yurio. I really like the yukata Otabek <3

And more YoI XDD These were actually from another user who hosted a split for the hotel acrylic stands~ I was able to pretty much fill the first set for them with the characters I wanted XDDD

Back to amiami!

Just a few things this month...
But there's a fair bit of Hitorijime my Hero. I really liked it >.>

And of course more Ballroom. XDD

Super terrible photo, but I got the Ballroom shirt!! It's a really nice fabric. Much softer than the Cospa ones XDDD

There's the goodies in their packages lol. Let's unwrap stuff...

First is my box of JoJo straps! I hope they keep making these. I want more ;__;

More Hitorijime My Hero addiction. I love the art in is too much ;__;
I think it's my second favorite BL art after Doukyuusei.

The one piece of Dive merch I picked up. I really liked Okitsu. <3
And one of the cutest piece of OtaYuri merch by far D: I regret not getting some of this style from Idolish7 D:

And now the grand finale. My lovely friend, tanzanite, went to Japan for the first time. Between our splits and her trip to Japan.......well let's just say there was a lot of stuff. A loooot.

A looooot. XD

I know I missed taking photos of a few things, but whatever XD
First is the goofiest thing I could do.
Deadpool is the cutest OL you'll ever see. Trust me. XDDDD

And of course this is one of the cutest things I own!!! Auuuuugh!!! I just wish he fit on more things. His little grippy hands are really small so I'd need a wine glass or something D:

More Chris'!! I love the sparkly suit can badge!! I just asked Tanzanite to add the Otabek one to her Suruga-ya order too XDD

The world's largest Yurio acrylic, lol!! I thought the oval ones from way early in the YoI merch scene were big...I was wrong! XD
Also omg I've been wanting that artist charm of Otabek for so long ;__; Thank you bb <3

Here is where I found the Hitorijime my Hero one XD
Also Ballroom!!! I can't even explain how happy I am to have that Tatara ;__; He's so cute!!!! Ahhhhhhh and Gajuuuuu ahhhhhh!!!

Finally getting some Tengenjis XD He's tanzanite's favorite so she gets dibs on him before me XDD I think these might have been duplicates she got XDD

And a couple splits ones from her~ Inu is such a dork XD

And even more Soumeki stuff!! Ahahaha~~ I think the only bad part is how dang big they are. I have no idea where to put them XD

A few Sanrio Danshi thingies. And that Pikachu shitajiki again. XD I think I forgot I had it in the photo with the clear files...

And latest the happiest things...
Otabek and Chris. ;__; Tanzanite had claimed them for herself but was so kind to sell them to me when she found out mine had been lost ;__;

Sorry for the sappy ending, but it's true. I'm so glad to have come into the anime merch fandom. I've had the chance to meet so many new people and make so many more friends. ;__; Our lack of money brings us together!!! lol!!

Anyway, thank you everyone for checking this thing out. Sorry for it being a novel. <3 I'll be on time for the next blog, I promise. I don't want to do this again XDD It's too much for one day.

Necroid_Neko (3 months ago) #29190646Jesus Christ how do you afford all this stuff??
Also, do you have link that shows all the straps from that Harry Potter rubber strap series? I NEED that Professor McGongagall

Well this is nearly 3 months worth of stuff. My monthly blogs are quite a bit smaller XDDD

stars_n_kisses (3 months ago) #29193341Not only that, but they also have a forwarding service as well. It's called blackship: www.blackship.c...
Note it's currently in beta mode and since I never used it at all I can't really tell how good it is.
Another proxy service to suggest is Zenmarket (I did hear some good thing about them, too). Unfortunaly, they don't provide a forwarding service.

I already use Zenmarket fairly often. They're pretty good I think. I ordered my GIFT Otabek plush with them :D

I'll have to try out Blackship sometime. If I do I'll make sure to make a blog :D

AkibaMelon (3 months ago) #29193929AWESOME LOOT! I'm not even into most of these series' but I just love seeing cute boys' merchandise XD Also so much randomness and lots of everything! <3 Btw I'd kinda love to see a roomtour since you have so many cool things and lots of fandoms ^-^Glad to see that you got your JPN-Depot order in here >_> I too received my package recently (after more than 2 months of back and forth, delays, missing items etc O.o) Definitely done with them as well, but just relieved that I goz my stuff after all v_v I'll be using FromJapan from now on since I had a great experience with them making a huge Surugaya order, I just hope they'll remain reliable...

Thanks!! Maybe I'll make a room tour some day. Recently it's been too messy due to multiple parcels coming in as well as hosting a fair few splits. I have a couple photos that I took a while ago, but since then I've gotten a new shelf that already has a ton of stuff XDD

And I'm glad you finally got your JPN-Depot order!! I used From-Japan before but though the fees were a bit high. Since then they've changed their service quite a bit. I think I need to try them out again. :D

AWESOME LOOT! I'm not even into most of these series' but I just love seeing cute boys' merchandise XD Also so much randomness and lots of everything! <3 Btw I'd kinda love to see a roomtour since you have so many cool things and lots of fandoms ^-^

Glad to see that you got your JPN-Depot order in here >_> I too received my package recently (after more than 2 months of back and forth, delays, missing items etc O.o) Definitely done with them as well, but just relieved that I goz my stuff after all v_v I'll be using FromJapan from now on since I had a great experience with them making a huge Surugaya order, I just hope they'll remain reliable...

heroizumi (3 months ago) #29181338Oh! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look. Are they just a proxy or do they work as a forwarding service as well? I was only using JPN-Depot for forwarding as I have my own accounts on most websites so I'm able to use points.
Haha, my favorite is Otabek, but I also like Yurio, Chris, Georgi, Minami and Emil! :D I am one of the lucky members of the fandom because trying to get slots as Victor or Yuuri was always difficult XD

Not only that, but they also have a forwarding service as well. It's called blackship: www.blackship.c...
Note it's currently in beta mode and since I never used it at all I can't really tell how good it is.

stars_n_kisses (3 months ago) #29128105If you want a suggestion for a new proxy service to used, you could try WhiteRabbitExpress. I personally never had a problem with them as so far all of my orders arrived safely and they respond fast.

Oh! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look. Are they just a proxy or do they work as a forwarding service as well? I was only using JPN-Depot for forwarding as I have my own accounts on most websites so I'm able to use points.

OujiRainu (3 months ago) #29161770OMG all those YOI merch dies, it seems Chris is one of your fav lol. I love the keychains sm,they are so weel done and pretty

Haha, my favorite is Otabek, but I also like Yurio, Chris, Georgi, Minami and Emil! :D I am one of the lucky members of the fandom because trying to get slots as Victor or Yuuri was always difficult XD

Miaeka (3 months ago) #29119329A dude who loves bishies as much as me? We'd be best friends irl lmao

Ahahahah <3 I'm just a big weirdo, both irl and online :D

SabryChan (3 months ago) #29119333I love your YOI merch! Specially the keychains from Minoru Joeling! I really want to buy the one that have Yurio and Otabek scene from Welcome to the Madness! They are so cuteee..but is too expensive for me ;_;

Thanks!! Minoru's works are kind of expensive, but definitely worth it in my opinion! I'm currently thinking of ordering the pillow case ;__; It's too beautiful!
